The
Park Vista Tenants’ Association is very grateful for all the wonderful gifts
that were donated by generous tenants at our Dec. 10 Toy Drive.
We had over 75 toys donated
and more than 30 tenants came out to support the drive, chat and enjoy baked
treats and refreshments. Tenants also got tips on having a greener Christmas
from our recycling ambassador Maureen Ballentine.
The toys were taken to Donway Ford, a local
drop-off location for the Salvation Army’s
Toy
Mountain. From
there they will be distributed across the city to families in need.
Thanks
to volunteers Maureen Ballentine, Elly Baptie, Gordon
Cherry, Hunter, Colleen LeBlanc, Maryanna Lewyckyj, Patricia Steward, all volunteer bakers
and toy donors and CAPREIT
staff (Aurora and Cristian Voicu and Santa (a.k.a. Jesse) for making this event a
success.
